Uniform

St Patrick’s Primary School takes much pride in their students wearing the correct school uniform in a proud and tidy manner which is representative of the high standard that is expected. As a parent, you can assist in this by ensuring that your child has all the required uniform apparel.

Our local uniform suppliers are Flanagan’s Menswear and Lowes Store which are both located in Vincent Street Cessnock. If for some reason you are unable to source the correct uniform due to financial stress, we do have a very well stocked ‘Uniform Pool’ here at the school.
